I have something very special to share with you. My friend and colleague, Karen Thomas, has a son who was once diagnosed with autism. I say, “once” because her son’s symptoms today are gone.

Does this leave you wondering how this can be?

Karen meets so many incredible parents who are doing many wonderful things for their children. There’s only one big problem…most of them know they need to do more for their child, but don’t really know HOW.

When Karen’s own son was diagnosed with autism, they told her to drug him and try behavioral therapies, but she wanted answers without dangerous drugs.

Her quest was to learn what she could do for him at the causes, not just mask his symptoms. As a craniosacral therapist of twenty-five years, (Karen works on the bones of the head to balance the brain), she knew the brain could heal, naturally.

After a decade of research, a lot of trial and error, and tens of thousands of dollars spent, Karen found the answers she was looking for. She applied her knowledge, and today her son no longer has autism!

Karen has put everything she learned into a step-by-step online video program for other parents, so they can easily follow exactly what she did.

During this step-by-step program, you will learn:

What you can do to have a DIRECT POSITIVE IMPACT on your child’s immune system.

How you can SAFELY reduce toxins from his body.

How you can EFFECTIVELY begin to heal his gut.

How you can NATURALLY support his brain.

…and yes, this great gut healing, detoxification, and brain strengthening program can be used by anyone to increase their overall health and wellness.

Karen’s life goal is to figure out how she can share this valuable information with other parents, and help get as many children better, as simply and safely as possible, and with the least expense. It is time to stop wasting your precious time, your child’s years, and life resources experimenting. You need a plan, and one that works, safely.

I am thrilled to bring to you Karen’s step-by-step video program. Just click here to learn all about it. Please join Karen as she walks you through each and every step she took that brought her own son to recovery from his symptoms of autism, naturally, and find out how much better your child could be.

Here’s what one mom had to say:

“I am grateful that Karen has gone before us to gain understanding. She is passionate about helping families find health and healing.

I found her at a time when it felt as though no one could understand what we were going through as a family. Hardship, love of our unique child, and search for hope in brokenness; are all things she could personally identify with. She has given me both validation as a mom and practical help. She was a vessel of hope at the perfect time.”

Visbiome Probiotic Research for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Ohio State University is sponsoring clinical trials to investigate the use of Visbiome Probiotics for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

We know that there is a close connections between the physical and mental/emotional health of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Recently there is a lot of information on immune abnormalities and gut microbiome differences.

Genome interactions with them suggest a possible etiological link between physical and mental dysfunction, especially the gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction and severe anxiety that many of those with Autism Spectrum Disorders manifest.

There has been some clinical evidence to show that children with Autism Spectrum Disorder with GI symptoms have a different microbiome composition and function to neurotypical children with GI symptoms.

The investigators hypothesize that altered host-microbial signals, which include altered fecal neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels contribute to the anxiety and the heightened sensory responsivity in Autism Spectrum Disorder..

Initial observation show that Visbiome probiotic Extra Strength, improves Gastrointestinal and pain symptoms, which would correspond with an alteration in gut microbiome composition and related metabolites (the macrobiome).

This trial investigates the possibilities of this new appreciation of the microbiome-mental/physical function connection for Autism Spectrum Disorder, GI dysfunction, and anxiety.

A pilot trial with 12 children with ASD will test feasibility for a proposed three-site crossover randomized clinical trial (RCT) of probiotics (beneficial bacteria including Lactobacilli & Bifidobacteria) in 60 children 3-12 years old with Autism Spectrum Disorder, gut dysfunction, & anxiety.

The investigators have access to significant fecal microbiome and metabolome data from NIH-funded Human Microbiome Projects (HMP) on similar-age healthy and irritable-bowel children, with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder.

What is a GMO?

A genetically modified food is one that has had its DNA changed. This is commonly done in laboratories. The purpose is often to make crops grow faster, or change the natural structure of a plant to create a different sort of plant altogether. This is very commonly done to wheat crops. The growing demand for processed foods raises the need for gluten. Gluten is the protein in wheat. It is used as the “glue” or binder of choice. Gluten is known to damage the lining of the digestive tract. Read more…

What is the Negative Impact of GMO’s?

Altering the natural state of foods creates compounds that the body cannot easily identify or digest. These foods are linked to allergies, neurological disorders, fatigue, depression, nausea, loss of mental clarity, and even cancer. Genetically modified foods or GMO’s effect the body’s sulfur metabolism which is involved in the ability to detoxify, and make important neurotransmitters, or brain messengers such as serotonin. Serotonin effects many things including mood, sleep and appetite.

Genetically modified foods are in everything including baby formula, (especially soy-based). Soy products are incredibly high in GMO’s, and they have been linked in studies to anxiety and aggressive behavior. Genetically modified foods are also in farm-raised fish (from the grain they are fed), dairy, and many other grains.

In one study, rats fed with GMO foods were antisocial, irritable and aggressive. Those that were fed with non-GMO foods were calm, and did not express the other characteristics. Pigs were shown to contain the same type of results. When re-started on non-GMO feed these behaviors reduced significantly.

In 1999, The Lancet, which is the world’s leading general medical journal published a study on rats that were fed potatoes loaded with GMO. In less than ten days their stomach lining had become much thinner and had weakened substantially. Similar evidence has been seen in other livestock fed with GMO feed. This raises the concern of what it is doing to the intestinal tract in humans.

These symptoms are comparable to those of children on the autism spectrum. When the lining of the digestive tract is weak it is vulnerable, and therefore, easily permeated. Likely one reason why leaky gut is so common among them.

Karen’s June 1st, release for her radio/podcast show is with Dr. Bruce Lipton, specializing in epigenetics. Epigenetics is the science of how environmental impact affects our genes. Learn what you can do to protect your genes.Listen here.

Karen has put together a FREE webinar on the topic of the 3 steps to naturally heal your child from the symptoms of autism. The finishing touches are being put on it now. Watch for dates and details.

The Autism One conference was a big hit!

Karen spoke at the Autism One conference, in Chicago, on May 26, 2016. Her talk was titled “The 3 Stages to Heal Autism Naturally”.See the slides to Karen’s talk. Learn how she helped her own son recover from his symptoms of autism and what you can do to help your child get better. Audio to be available soon.
